Objective:To observe the expressions of Th22 cells and IL-22 in peripheral blood of patients with Lupus nephritis (LN) and explore its significance.Methods: Patients of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with no renal involvement (n=38),lupus nephritis (n=32) and healthy controls (n=10) were studied.Flow cytometry was utilized to quantify the percentage of Th22 cells in peripheral blood.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum IL-22.The Th22 cells and The serum level of IL-22 among three groups were compared,and the correlation between Th22,IL-22 and SLE disease activity index score (SLEDAI) was analyzed.Results: Th22 cells in SLE group and LN group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group (P<0.01).Serum IL-22 level was also significantly higher than that of healthy control group (P<0.01);Th22 and IL-22 LN group were slightly higher than that in SLE group,but the difference was not significant (P>0.05).The proportion of Th22 cells and the level of IL-22 in LN group were positively correlated with the disease activity score SLEDAI.Conclusion: Th22 cells and IL-22 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE and LN.

Objective To compare the incidence rate of non-motor symptoms including constipation, depression,REM sleep disorder(RBD)in patients with Parkinson′s disease(PD)and essential tremor(ET). Methods Sixty patients with PD and 40 patients with ET treated in the department of neurology of Tianjin People′s Hospital from October 2015 to June 2016 were enrolled in the study.The clinical data were recorded.The incidence rates of constipation,depression,REM sleep disorder in PD patients and ET patients were compared in order to analyze the correlation among HY staging and the duration of constipation,depression and RBD in PD patients.Results The incidence rates of constipation,depression,REM sleep disorder in PD group were significantly higher than those in ET group(88.3%(53/60)vs.10.0%(4/40); 61.7%(37/60) vs.27.5%(11/40),51.7%(31/60)vs.7.5%(3/40)),the differences were statistically significant(χ2=60.08,11.22,20.86,P<0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the HY staging of patients with PD was related to the duration of constipation,the duration of depression and the duration of RBD(r=0.570,0.369,0.439,P<0.01).Conclusion The degree of correlation between constipation and HY staging is relatively high in PD patients.PD patients with constipation,depression,REM sleep disorder can provide reference for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ET patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of enteral microecopharmaceutics nutrition supplement (EMN) on incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia complications,inflammatory responses,and prognoses in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) undergoing ventilator therapy.Methods From January 2016 to September 2017,70 patients with sTBI were randomly divided into an experimental group (EMN supplement,n=35) and a control group (n=35).Early enteral nutrition was given to patients from both groups,and bifidobacterium viable capsule was given to patients from the experimental group.Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores,acute physiological and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II scores,number of white blood cells (WBC),proportion of neutrophil (N),and serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between the two groups on admission and 14 d after treatment.The incidence of VAP and clinical pulmonary infection scale (CPIS) scores,pulmonary function,mechanical ventilation time and hospital stays were compared 14 d after treatment.Results The incidence of VAP in the experimental group (n=17,51％) 14 d after EMN supplement was significantly lower as compared with that in the control group (n=22,63％,P＜0.05).Meanwhile,VAP patients from the experimental group had significantly lower CPIS scores as compared with patients from control group (P＜0.05).Ventilator weaning was achieved in 29 patients from experimental group (83％) and 24 patients from control group (69％),with significant difference (P＜0.05);ventilator weaning patients from the experimental group had significantly improved lung function as compared with ventilator weaning patients from control group (P＜0.05).WBC number,N proportion,and serum PCT and CRP levels in the experimental group were significantly smaller/decreased as compared with those in the control group (P＜0.05).As compared with patients from control group,patients from the experimental group had significantly higher GCS scores (8.35±0.51 vs.9.48±0.48,P＜0.05) and significantly lower APACHE II scores (12.58±0.78 vs.14.68±0.97,P＜0.05).Conclusion EMN supplement can effectively reduce the VAP incidence,alleviate the degree of infection and inflammatory response in patients with sTBI undergoing ventilator therapy,therefore,improve the prognosis;this method is worth of promotion.
